GAP YEAR ROYAL

Taking a gap year is the fashionable thing to do! Prince Harry took a gap year between finishing his A-levels and starting a career in the army. He spent three months in Australia (starting with the Rugby World Cup) and then three months working on a ranch in southern Queensland, Australia, where he learnt how to handle cattle and repair damaged fences. He also travelled and worked in southern Africa where he visited an orphanage for children with AIDS in Lesotho, and helped build a clinic and road-bridge. Way to go Harry!

Prince William also took a year out after Eton, visiting Chile and Africa before going to study at St. Andrews University in Scotland. He spent the first part of it in the Belize jungle sleeping in a hammock; wearing jungle combats, and eating army rations. He also worked on a farm in the UK before travelling to a remote part of Chile. As a volunteer for the charity Raleigh International, William helped build new walkways and teach English in a mountain village in the south of the country.

Whatever your age, whatever your background, if you have a 'can-do' attitude and a desire to make a difference, there are a wealth of worthwhile projects that could do with your help, from conservation to community development, from teaching to tourism.



TSUNAMI VOLUNTEERS IN SRI LANKA

Some of the world's most exciting and meaningful conservation placements are in Sri Lanka. These include leopard research and monitoring, as well as Elephant research and monitoring populations and impacts.
